League Search Page > NBA > San Antonio Spurs > Roster & Statistics

The 1998–99 San Antonio Spurs were anchored by Tim Duncan and David Robinson, whose scoring, rebounding, and interior defense established the team’s identity on both ends of the floor. Avery Johnson served as the primary playmaker, while Sean Elliott added dependable perimeter scoring. The statistical profile reflects a disciplined, defense-oriented team that controlled the glass, protected the rim, and relied on efficient inside offense and balanced contributions rather than high-volume three-point shooting.

Tim Duncan Starter/Star 39.3 High 21.7 11.4 2.4 3.4 102.43 Low-post focal point and defensive backbone, Duncan gave San Antonio a reliable advantage every night. His footwork around the rim, elite rebounding and shot-blocking helped drive one of the league’s best defenses while he finished third in MVP voting at just 22 years old. MVP-3 (1999), DPOY-5 (1999), All-NBA First Team 1999, NBA All-Defensive First Team 1999, NBA Champion 1999
David Robinson Starter/Star 31.7 High 15.8 10.0 2.1 3.8 83.42 Playing alongside Duncan allowed Robinson to shift into a more selective offensive role, but he remained a dominant interior defender. His rim protection, help defense and efficiency around the basket gave the Spurs arguably the league’s toughest frontcourt matchup. MVP-12 (1999), DPOY-4 (1999), NBA Champion 1999
Avery Johnson Starter/Star 33.4 Medium 9.7 2.4 7.4 1.2 49.49 Steady floor leadership defined Johnson’s season. He orchestrated the offense, fed the Spurs’ star big men in their preferred spots and ranked among the better playmaking point guards in the Western Conference. NBA Champion 1999
Sean Elliott Starter/Star 30.2 Medium 11.2 4.3 2.3 0.8 44.53 Functioning as the primary wing scorer, Elliott balanced floor spacing with secondary shot creation. His ability to score from the perimeter gave San Antonio an important offensive dimension beyond its interior stars. NBA Champion 1999
Mario Elie Starter/Star 27.5 Medium 9.7 2.9 1.9 1.3 38.99 Physical perimeter defender and dependable spot-up shooter, Elie fit seamlessly into the Spurs’ veteran-heavy rotation. His toughness often set the tone in big games while his three-point shooting punished defensive help. NBA Champion 1999
Malik Rose Key Contributor 12.9 Medium 6.0 3.9 0.6 1.4 27.03 High-energy bench forward minutes were his specialty. Rose attacked offensive rebounds, brought physicality to second units and routinely changed possessions with hustle plays around the paint. NBA Champion 1999
Jaren Jackson Key Contributor 18.3 Low 6.4 2.1 1.0 1.1 22.05 Perimeter shooting was Jackson’s primary value to the roster. He stretched defenses from deep and provided spacing that opened driving and post-up opportunities for San Antonio’s core players. NBA Champion 1999
Antonio Daniels Key Contributor 13.1 Low 4.7 1.1 2.3 0.7 18.48 Young reserve guard duties centered on ball handling and defensive pressure. Daniels brought athleticism to the backcourt and flashed the versatility that would earn him a larger role in future seasons. NBA Champion 1999
Jerome Kersey Bench 15.5 Low 3.2 2.9 0.9 1.1 16.20 Veteran wing depth remained his calling card. Kersey supplied rebounding, defensive effort and leadership while accepting a reduced offensive workload on a championship-caliber roster. NBA Champion 1999
Steve Kerr Bench 16.7 Low 4.4 1.0 1.1 0.6 14.20 Specialist shooting minutes helped keep spacing functional when bench groups entered the game. Kerr’s quick release and experience gave San Antonio a reliable perimeter option. NBA Champion 1999
Will Perdue Key Contributor 12.0 Low 2.4 3.7 0.5 0.5 14.91 Reserve center responsibilities focused on screening, rebounding and preserving the physical identity of the frontcourt. He delivered efficient interior finishing in limited touches. NBA Champion 1999
Gerard King Bench 3.3 Low 1.2 0.7 0.2 0.2 4.60 End-of-bench wing minutes were limited, but King provided athletic depth and occasional defensive energy when called upon. NBA Champion 1999
Andrew Gaze Bench 3.1 Low 1.1 0.3 0.3 0.2 3.80 The Australian sharpshooter filled a niche shooting role, giving the Spurs another floor-spacing option during a lockout-shortened season. NBA Champion 1999
Brandon Williams Bench 1.3 Low 0.7 0.3 0.0 0.0 2.00 Appearing briefly during the season, Williams saw only limited opportunities but added guard depth to the roster. NBA Champion 1999
TEAM TOTALS 241.5 92.8 44.0 22.0 15.4 441.12 Built around the Duncan-Robinson frontcourt, San Antonio paired elite interior defense with disciplined half-court execution. The Spurs finished with the league’s best record in the lockout-shortened season and captured the franchise’s first NBA championship. NBA Champion 1999, Midwest Division Champion 1999
